Project sees services taken closer to people in Mtwalume

Services provided included mental health screenings, a baby and me programme, and more.

A community project, known as Kuyakhanya Project Gains, hosted a mass service delivery day in eNyangwini, Mtwalume.

The event was held at the Esibanini community hall recently, which saw a collaboration between Saps, South African Social Security Agency and Government Communications Information Systems.

This gathering was also attended by local traditional leaders.

Services provided included mental health screenings and the baby and me programme, which supports early childhood development through non-formal learning and play.

Ward 10 councillor Sfiso Tyron expressed his support for the project: “We are happy about this initiative. It addresses existing community challenges that can often be prevented if children and caregivers are given an early start to bond and access mental health support during difficult times.”

The collaboration between Kuyakhanya and its partners underscores the importance of community-focused interventions that strengthen families, promote mental well-being and support early learning.

Kuyakhanya is a Zulu word, meaning getting light.
